Atheists Have the Worst Public Relations Department EVER!

I'm not sure if it's willful ignorance or a genuine lack of rudimentary social skills, but it seems like every time atheists make some sort of public display, they end up looking like douchebags.

Like for example, this display which they posted next to a nativity scene in Olympia, Washington.  It reads:

At this season of
THE WINTER SOLSTICE

yeah, telling religious people

Religion is but
myth and superstition
that hardens hearts
and enslaves minds.

which goes against what religious people think of themselves is not going to win you any points in an argument, because your audience is generally not primed for it.

Yeah, but atheists are the only ones who know how to piss on their own shoes. Did you hear about how Bill O'RLY went on a rant about the sign, and then the next day someone stole it and gave it to a right-wing radio station? Nothing says "I'm a true christian!" like violating the 8th commandment.
